Lavender - A Spooky Month AU Fanfiction.

1: It Is Spooky Month!

"Kid—you alright in there?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah! I'm fine, Kevin!"

Skid happily answered the muffled masculine voice outside of his door with a smile, turning in his chair as he slightly twisted his head toward the door. Sweating beneath his costume from the sheer euphoria he'd experience in a few more hours as he sat with a childish smile at his computer.

For a few moments, silence passed, and he heard Kevin let out a sigh from outside.

"Well.. if you say so. I'm going to bed, but don't stay up too late. And—take that costume off, okay? I'm still not really sure how you sleep in that thing without overheating."

"Aww.." Skid frowned. He didn't really want to take off his costume. Not now when in a few hours, he'd probably need it.

"..ugh.. okay. You can wear it."

"Yay!"

"Go to sleep soon, alright? Let me know if you need anything."

"Okay, Kevin!"

Skid heard footsteps slowly become more distant from his door, and after a while, the sound faded. Skid turned his face toward the bright screen of his computer with an eager smile, giggling to himself.

On the screen—in large text as a timer counted down, it read "TIME BEFORE OCTOBER 1ST: 2 HOURS, 2 MINUTES."

————

A bell chime rang out. A deep, bell chime from his clock as he slowly turned around in his black chair, away from his screen. Shadows coated his mask, and a smile eerily curled upon his lips. His eyes darted toward the clock, and caught sight of what it read.

"OCTOBER 1ST, 2010."

"Yes!" Skid cheered, his grin becoming a lot happier as he shook his fists. "It is the spooky month!"

Skid eagerly grabbed his phone from his desk, and practically smashed it against the arm of his chair, pressing it firmly with several more whacks until he pressed it to his ear. He heard a slight ringing sound come from the device, before a simple click came, and he grinned.

"Ayyyy!" Skid smiled.

A familiar, equally high but nasally voice chimed from the other side of the phone—"Ayyy! Were you watching the time too?"

"Yes! Are you ready for the spookiest month?!"

"Yeah—oh! I sent you something! Heheh.."

Skid swiped his screen with a smile. And as the voice from the other side of the phone had said, there was a message of a video in their texts. Pump—his friend, and the voice on the phone, had sent him this message. Eagerly, Skid pressed his thumb against the video, and let it play.

Darkness shrouded the scree—

"OOGA BOOGA—"

————

Skid ran out of his room with energy swaying in his small body, a grin visibly on his masked face as he ran through the halls. He quickly ran toward the living room, where light seemed to be seeping into the corridor from it. Kevin must have been up. He could tell him that it was spooky month!

Skid turned into the entrance of the living room, and—

"..ki—kid.."

Skid froze.

Kevin appeared to be standing there, his eyes visibly widened as his mouth hung open anxiously, and beads of sweat trickled down his face as he trembled. A red sleeved arm with red claws for hands hung over his neck, drawing a blade to Kevin's fragile throat. From behind him, there was a smiling man.. a smiling man in a red-devil mask, grinning and laughing.
